These are all really pretty, but I absolutely love the last idea with what I assume is a canvas. It looks classy, yet simple.

I haven't used Christmas lights for anything in particular, but my room is very Asian-themed, and I have a lot of lanterns hanging about. (The one plus I can think of to living with Mom and not being married -- I can have my own theme in my bedroom).

I'm right there with you, I love them year round as well! Nothing corny 'bout that, I say! Love these ideas to use them in unconventional manners... Great inspiration! Thank you! love, Maria (www.livlig-online.com)
